| Summary, etc | "Ghana, formerly the British Gold Coast, has been referred to as a weather vane for the African continent. While often pointed in a direction opposite what its inhabitants would choose, the country's record of political independence is still positive. Unfortunately, Ghana also has a record of undermined democracy at home, a slanted nonalignment policy abroad, and a ruined economy. These factors led to its first military coup, which came almost as a relief - until military coups became a habit. Nonetheless, the past decade or so has brought change. Democracy is clearly taking root, the economy is steadily improving, and Ghana is gaining international respect." "In its detailed chronology, Historical Dictionary of Ghana traces the history of the republic from the period preceding colonization, through the seemingly interminable epoch of British colonization, and finally to the past half-century when Ghana regained its independence. Following an introduction that puts the country's major events in a broader context, the several hundred entries in the dictionary address significant people, places, politics, and culture. Completed by an extensive bibliography, this third edition is a necessary reference for students, researchers, travelers, and general readers interested in learning more about this West African nation."--BOOK JACKET. |
